Delcam to Show Latest PartMaker at PMTS 2007
Delcam will demonstrate the latest release, Version 8, of its PartMaker software for turn-mill centres and Swiss-type lathes on booth 544 at the PMTS 2007 exhibition to be held in Columbus, Ohio from 24th to 26th April. PartMaker Version 8 features a wide range of improved functionality, including the introduction of the PartMaker Full Machine Simulation module, which allows users to view photo-realistic 3D models of the machines for which they are programming their parts.
This new simulation module will provide improved error checking and collision detection to PartMaker users by allowing them to perform an even more robust machining simulation than currently offered in PartMaker. The machine model being simulated incorporates machine specific tool holders and attachments to assure that any possible collisions that could occur on the machine will be detected off-line on the user's PC. The ability to detect such problems off-line is beneficial for CNC programmers and machinists because it means they will have to spend less time in setting up new jobs and performing dry runs to assure there are no collisions on the machine.
"The PMTS is a key venue for PartMaker to demonstrate its latest release," says Hanan Fishman, PartMaker Inc. President. "PMTS is the pre-eminent showcase for precision machining technology in North America and only comes along every two years. As many PartMaker users and a number of other leaders in the field of multi-axis turning attend this show, it is an ideal showcase for the many new and exciting capabilities available in PartMaker Version 8."
